This is a common standard for updating AppImages.
AppImage having update information would also recognized by other software e.g. AppImageLauncher, AppImageUpdate, AppManager, AM etc...
Lots of projects already support updating AppImage e.g: LibreWolf, KeePassXC, Sigil etc.

This is would be so useful!
It is always a pain to manually add update information to appimages by hand. So appimage managers like Gear Lever or AppManager can automatically update them
